Abstract
Description
Technical Field:
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of motor starting control, and particularly to a novel motor autotransformer step-down starting control circuit. Background Art:
[0002] Autotransformer step-down starting means that when a motor starts, an autotransformer is used to reduce the starting voltage applied to the stator winding of the motor. After the motor starts, the motor is then disconnected from the autotransformer so as to operate normally under full voltage. The existing autotransformer step-down starting control circuit is as Figure 1 shown. Its step-down and full-voltage switching process is as follows: Close the control switch QF, the first contactor KM1 is energized and self-locked, and the coil of the second contactor KM2 is energized - the motor starts with reduced voltage. At the same time, the coil of the time relay KT is energized; when the time relay KT reaches the set time, the normally open timedelay off contact of the time relay KT opens - the coil of the second contactor KM2 loses power - the step-down circuit is disconnected (the step-down contactor is released). At the same time, the normally closed timedelay on contact of the time relay KT closes - the coil of the third contactor KM3 is energized and self-locked - the motor starts with full voltage.
[0003] In the above process, the release of the second contactor KM2 and the energization of the third contactor KM3 occur simultaneously. However, when a contactor fails, there will be a situation where the second contactor KM2 fails to release in time while the third contactor KM3 has already been energized. At this time, for the motor, when the third contactor KM3 is energized, it connects 100% voltage, and when the second contactor KM2 is energized, it connects 80% voltage. When the third contactor KM3 and the second contactor KM2 provide two different voltages to the same motor simultaneously, arc short-circuit will occur, which will cause the switch to trip at the least and the motor to burn out at the worst, affecting production. Content of the Utility Model:

[0009] Advantages of the present utility model: Components such as a second time relay and a second intermediate relay are added to the circuit, which can ensure that after the star-point contactor and the step-down contactor on the step-down circuit are all de-energized and released, the full-voltage contactor is energized and operated after a period of time, thus preventing the occurrence of arcing short circuit phenomena caused by the simultaneous operation of the star-point contactor, the step-down contactor, and the full-voltage contactor, and further ensuring the stable operation of the circuit. Moreover, indicator lights for displaying the operating states of the star-point contactor, the step-down contactor, and the full-voltage contactor are added to the circuit, which play a warning role and are convenient for troubleshooting.

When the time set by the first time relay KT1 is reached, its power-on delay closing contact is closed - the first intermediate relay KA1 gets energized;
[0021] The coil of the first intermediate relay KA1 gets energized, and its normally closed contact opens - the coil of the star contactor KM1 loses power, and the coil of the second intermediate relay KA2 loses power - the normally open contact of the second intermediate relay KA2 opens - the coil of the step-down contactor KM2 loses power - the main contacts of the step-down contactor KM2 are released, and the normally closed contact of the star contactor KM1 is closed, and the normally closed contact of the step-down contactor KM2 is closed - the coil of the first intermediate relay KA1 gets energized and self-locks and the coil of the second time relay KT2 gets energized and starts timing;

[0023] Before starting the motor, if the first indicator light HL1 is on, it means the star contactor KM1 is normal; if the second indicator light HL2 is on, it means the step-down contactor KM2 is normal; if the third indicator light HL3 is on, it means the full-voltage contactor KM3 is normal; on the contrary, if any indicator light is not on before starting the motor, it means the corresponding contactor has a fault and starting is prohibited, which is used to prompt the staff to repair in time.
